I can’t tell if you’re impressed or disappointed.

To cover both:

1. Yes :)
2. Yeah, sorry :(

That’s not a shitpost.
This is a shitpost.

They can be used in place of staples or treasury tags to join paperwork together, but they’re mainly for making things where cardboard needs to rotate on some other cardboard, like cool 2D puppets or secret-code-wheels or toy clocks or whatever.

1. People who make props for a film, set in the early to mid 1900s, that includes a handwritten letter that is briefly held up in front of the camera whilst the main character reads it, with a single tear dropping down their cheek
2. Doctors and pharmacists

I googled it… and it’s just the American word for “joined-up writing”, like you do in primary school.

It’s literally just that. All those whingeing posts on social media… they were crying about joined-up writing. Hahahahaha. What an insane bunch of babies.

[Edit] when I say “googled”, I of course mean I googled it with duckduckgo, or duckduckgoed it or whatever.

Thought that was Admiral Cain off of Battlestar Galactica at first.

(It is the same actress, but also similar clothing and hairstyle)

Short hand is “journalist writing”, where a series of kind-of-scribbles sort of refer to real words, so you can take down someone’s speech in real time in an abbreviated form, then rebuild it “back at the office” and horribly misquote them.

What actually is cursive? I only know it as a “thing that makes some Internet people angry on Facebook”.

Those will definitely help (along with sleeping properly, not having kids and trying to live non-stressfully) within the boundaries of your genetic “visual age range”, but I wonder if the biggest difference is just genetics.

I spent many a year as an underslept, hard drinking, rubbish-food-eating, stressed-out, lazy chain-smoker - but I still look much younger than a lot of people my age, because I was lucky with my genetics - younger looking skin, full head of thick hair, hair still original colour, eyes don’t need glasses yet etc. I can knock another few visual years off if I’m really looking after myself (or add quite a few on if I’m tired and ill).

Some of my significantly healthier-lifestyled friends have got the “Captain Picard” grey/bald hair thing going on, wrinkled foreheads and glasses, and whatever they do, they’re always going to look significantly older than me, which doesn’t really seem fair on them.

I often have the same question for those “I am running a marathon dressed as an apple to raise money for cancer” things.

Person 1: “Can you give £10 to a cancer charity?”

Person 2: “No, sorry”

Person 1: “Could you give £10 if someone ran a marathon?”

Person 2: “I don’t really need anyone to run a marathon… unless… I dunno… could you make it more humiliating and difficult for them?”

Person 1: “I could make them dress in a giant apple costume?”

Person 2: “Hahaha! That would get really hot, and their legs wouldn’t be able to move properly and they’d look stupid and everyone would laugh at how stupid they look! That sounds like an adequate amount of suffering! I will happily pay £10 to a cancer charity as long as this Person has suffered”

Birdseye Crispy Chicken Dippers?

How cheap is a Dominoes pizza in America? In the UK it’s far more expensive than a normal pizza/burger/kebab shop, and normally more expensive than a restaurant pizza.

Clockwise from left:

Pepperoni Pizza
(Probably) Turkey dinosaurs
Spiced curly potato chips/fries
(Maybe) Fish or chicken fingers
(Probably) chicken nuggets
Alphabites potato chips/fries
Potato waffles
Potato Smiles
Spaghetti Hoops in Tomato Sauce

Mostly potato, therefore mostly vegetable, therefore healthy.

That looks absolutely delicious.

Not sure if that’s Autism or Britishness to be honest.

Any publicity is good publicity, I guess.

Game looks quite good. No evidence of any Nazi related stuff in the gameplay, Steam forums etc. That seems entirely to be GOG’s doing

Might buy it at on Steam at 45% off as part of their “women-led games” sale.

So, by carefully implementing good taxation rules in different countries at different times, we can herd them all into one place at one time?

Also, even if 90% of scientists did say that… what percentage of those scientists are not biologists?

Do we need to know a geologist’s or physicist’s opinion about “some sort of weird meat-science”?

Like the old “Yeah, sorry, I am a Doctor, but I’m a Doctor of Jazz, not medicine”

It also runs on AmigaOS

“Yeah, it does do that, doesn’t it?”

*click*

"Yeah, I know, it used to better, didn’t it?

*click*

“Yeah, I don’t know why they changed it”

*shuffle*

“No, no, it’s not just you, I’ve heard loads of people saying the same”

*click*

Nobody has a problem with Americans, Australians, New Zealanders etc keeping their own cats indoors - and in fact would likely support it in areas where they’re not a native species, or you’ve got dangers like those you outlined - the same as it’s supported in areas here in conservation areas, or areas with rare birds nesting.

The issue is the aggressive, abusive behaviour of those hijacking every thread which has a cat in someone’s garden, and insisting everyone else does the same in countries where cats have free-roamed and been part of the native ecosytem for a few thousand years.

This is an exceptionally good point.

Also worth noting that “Twix Quantum Superstate” is currently untaken as a band name.
